Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya - rates & reviews for Riviera Maya hotels

Hotel info:

Gran Bahia Principe is the sum of two 5 star hotels formerly known as Bahia Principe Tulum and Bahia Principe Akumal independently, now offering a 1295 guestroom Resort, the shopping and entertainment center "Hacienda Doña Isabel" and the best attention in the Caribbean. Located approximately 60 minutes from Cancun International Airport, 35 minutes south of Playa del Carmen and 20 minutes north of Tulum.

Designed by the prestigious Mexican architect, Fernando Quirarte, and inspired by the Puuc Mayan architectural period, the hotel welcomes its guests with all of Mexican's characteristic warmth. Materials such as stone, talavera pottery, marble, large palapas, hardwoods and an exquisite color combination make the hotel a cool and harmonious place that is easy to discover and enjoy.

The project was carried out following patterns of sustained tourism in order to make the best use of all the area's resources. The kilometer-long beach is completely natural, and large, manicured gardens will make your strolls around the complex all the more enjoyable. Modern energy-saving and water-processing systems, among others, illustrate the hotel's concern for the environment.

The Bahia Principe hotel in Mexico was FANTASTIC! The staff was all very friendly and like many foreign countries put the English to shame. They were extremely welcoming, friendly and could not do enough for you. The complex was very large and offered all you could ever dream of or need. The food I would give 8/10 loads of choice, all very fresh and presented with care, however, all tasted the same after a while. This place was a paradise we spent two weeks there in June 2005 and would highly recommend it to anyone! If you like relaxing, clean, tropical environments with the option of loads of water sports, diving, snorkeling, spa's, dancing, games etc... This is the place for you. A little far from Cancun as taxi's are very expensive but many tourist trips are nearby (most of the main ones you would require). 10/10 overall you can't go wrong! If you've booked be excited your gonna love it! Just pack plenty of sun lotion :-)

We had our first trip to Mexico in 2002. The Bahia Principe is a gorgeous resort, the food, the beach, the staff, the rooms; in fact absolutely everything was first class. The memories of this holiday have always lingered - so much that I've booked again for next month!
